    Cod are usually green to brownish in color. The brown can also be seen as orange/brown. Some cod also have specks on them as well when you first bring them up.The lateral line drops off about midsection then straight to the tail. Large cod have a possum belly. Large pollock are more symmetrically rounded.

    Pollock are bluish in color and more streamlined. The lateral line is usually straight. Also, pollock eyes are slightly larger than cod eyes.

    That pollock is a pretty fish. I've been close to getting out but if the weather cooperates, the schedule doesn't. I enjoy my marriage. It has, however, cut down on my fishing time.

    Is anyone hearing of cod caught in or near the inlets now? What do you think are the chances of getting one if you go out with clams at high tide?
